Model Responses

Perplexity

Response

1. Pricing tier availability

INCORRECT.
The stored data lists availability across Free, Google AI Plus, Google AI Pro, and Google AI Ultra with "Standard" limits and notes like "Rolling out to free users since Feb 2026" and "Full access" for paid tiers. Recent rollout confirms Past Chats is now available to free users worldwide (except Europe), matching the Feb 2026 rollout start for free users, and was previously for Google AI subscribers (implying paid tiers like Pro/Ultra).[1][2] No specific usage limits per tier are mentioned in sources; all indicate standard access once rolled out.[1][2] Google AI Plus is not explicitly confirmed (sources reference "Google AI subscribers" generally and Pro/Ultra specifically in Workspace contexts); Workspace add-on is separate (see point 3).[3] No contradictions on paid access, but Plus lacks direct confirmation.

2. Platform/surface availability

PARTIALLY CORRECT (minor notes update needed).
Stored data matches closely: ✅ on iOS/Android (Gemini app), web (gemini.google.com); ❌ on Windows/macOS/Linux (no native app, use web), Chrome, terminal, API.[1][2] Sources confirm availability on mobile apps (iOS/Android) and web; no mentions of native desktop apps, terminal, Chrome extension, or API access.[1][2] Update notes: explicitly "mobile app and web version" for free rollout; desktop access remains web-only.[1]

3. Current status

CORRECT.
Stored status "ga" (generally available) aligns with ongoing rollout to free users since Feb 2026 and prior paid availability, now described as "coming to everyone in most of the world" via mobile/web.[1][2] Separate Workspace side panel "conversation history" (related but distinct) is rolling out GA starting March 3, 2026 for select users (Alpha/Labs/Pro/Ultra), extending to all Workspace by March 17—not core Gemini Past Chats.[3]

4. Access gating

CORRECT.
Stored gating "free" matches sources: now rolling out to non-paying/free users globally (except Europe), after initial paid-only phase.[1][2]

5. Regional availability

INCORRECT.
Stored info ("Available where Gemini Apps are available (230+ countries on web, 150+ on mobile). Staggered rollout; some users may not see it yet.") overstates; sources specify available "around the world" or "most of the world" except Europe (delayed due to data regulations), with staggered rollout ongoing as of Feb 2026—no exact country counts provided.[1][2] No other country-specific limits noted.

6. Official URL

INCORRECT (no official page identified).
No official Google product/feature page URL found in sources for Past Chats (Memory); access is via Gemini settings > "Personal context" page (in-app toggle: "Your past chats with Gemini").[1][2] No dedicated landing page mentioned; feature is not deprecated or inaccessible.

7. Recent changes

CHANGE DETECTED.

• Feb 2026: Rollout of Past Chats to free users on mobile/web (worldwide except Europe), after paid-only launch late 2025.[1][2][4]
• Late Feb/early March 2026: Bug temporarily hid chat history for some users (fixed by Google, data restored); separate issues with old/deleted chats reappearing.[5][7]
• March 2026: Related Workspace "conversation history" rollout begins (Alpha/Labs/Pro/Ultra from March 3; all Workspace from March 17), with admin controls (deletion/retention).[3] No changes in last 30 days (post-March 1, as of March 20). All within ~1 month ago.
